- À la carte living conditions where everything is hyper personalized and you get what YOU want delivered to YOU when YOU want it. And therefore, you don't have to think beyond yourself, so you assume everything is either for you *specifically* or it's wrong.

Even before AI entered the conversation, mathematical knowledge was being produced at a faster rate than it could be profitably absorbed. Many good papers have never been cited, and journal editors struggle to find even a single referee, even for great work. This problem is about to get much worse. Autonomously produced papers will break the journal system.
Tao has argued on social media that “some of the prestige previously awarded to being the first to generate a proof will need to be transferred instead to the humans who successfully verify and digest such proofs” [19]. But checking a flood of AI-generated papers for correctness doesn’t sound prestigious. It sounds boring. AI can generate artificial papers by the thousands. How many of them would you agree to referee? It seems more likely that corporations will offer the same solution as they did for proof generation: refereeing duties can also be taken over by machines. It’s only a small step from the increasingly common practice of using AI to scan a manuscript for mistakes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:szqrll63hfdilcqrsh2hnzis/bafkreihsfwisjvyvv4sgpcsqqpudov7fm3j7gmvqcoyfql5jaw42b4mzti)
